And the Holiday is Over Already

So the long weekend is over, it is back to home, and back to reality. Though there were more than a few occasions over the long weekend when I thought about staying, it is good to be home, sleeping in my own bed, and finally getting to tackle the mounds of laundry that have built up.

We had a really fantastic time visiting mom mom and pop pop and cousins Maddie and Pat, and Aunt Ali, and as usual the weekend was just a bit to short. But boy was it busy! There were long walks to the harbor (I am telling you now, if I lived in this small NH town- I would be in the best shape ever just from walks to the harbor!), playing at the beach, tubing, searches for Steven Tyler, birthday cakes and Fireworks. I half expected Matthew to be terrified of the fireworks, so we had our escape plan ready, but he loved them. Every time he heard or saw a firework it was "more, more more". He was completely captivated by the sparklers and wanted to hold them the entire time, then got sad when they ran out- leading to more chants of "more more more". Even though it meant a very late night for him, I think he had the best time at all.

Check out the pictures of my Megaphone cake that I made for Maddie's birthday. The pom poms didn't really work out- the frosting was not staying stiff enough, so they were not getting pom pomy, but thats ok, it was still a hit :)

We will all be anxiously awaiting our next visit up north for Pop-pops 65th birthday party next month, but I might have to try to sneak up for a weekend before then, it was too much fun! Matthew loved being pushed around on the tube so much, we think in August, we will actually give the real thing a shot- being pulled behind the boat!

Hope everyone else had a Happy Fourth!
